扎哈Heydar Aliyev文化中心
Heydar Aliyev Center by Zaha Hadid Architects

由著名建筑师扎哈·哈迪德Zaha Hadid和Patrik Schumacher设计的盖达尔•阿利耶夫文化中心位于阿塞拜疆巴库，面积约10万平方米，完成于2013年，已经成为城市肌理中不可缺少的一部分，阿塞拜疆重要的地标性建筑。
全新的整体流动性灵感来源于当地的伊斯兰传统文化。历史悠久的建筑，书法，天花，壁画，装饰，艺术花纹的无缝连接，整体统一给建筑师设计灵感。在充分了解历史与传统的基础上，建筑师通过现代的方式回应场地和各种条件。对于场地上的坡段用一个梯田式广场化劣为优，避免了额外的挖方或填埋，建立建筑与地下停车场的关联。精心设计的起伏，分叉，褶皱及形态让广场展现出热情开放拥抱城市的姿态。同时，建筑模糊了传统建筑与城市，与广场，与地面之间的分化。
整个建筑由两套结构系统组成：混凝土结构域空间框架系统。几何表面运用到逐渐变细的燕尾悬臂梁。空间框架系统保证了建筑的自由形态，玻璃纤维增强混凝土（ GFRC ）和玻璃纤维增强聚酯（ GFRP ）作为外饰面材料，实现了广场，建筑，内部空间的过渡。通过计算机运算和设计展现建筑整体而有机的表皮。巨大开窗为文化中心带来自然光，同时保持中心与景观的呼应。
Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku, Azzerbaijan designed by Zaha Hadid Architects and completed in 2013 with an area of 101801 sqm has become part of Baku’s urban fabric and the significant local landmark.
Fluidity in architecture is not new to this region. In historical Islamic architecture, rows, grids, or sequences of columns flow to infinity like trees in a forest, establishing non-hierarchical space. Continuous calligraphic and ornamental patterns flow from carpets to walls, walls to ceilings, ceilings to domes, establishing seamless relationships and blurring distinctions between architectural elements and the ground they inhabit. Responding to the topographic sheer drop that formerly split the site into two, the project introduces a precisely terraced landscape that establishes alternative connections and routes between public plaza, building, and underground parking. This solution avoids additional excavation and landfill, and successfully converts an initial disadvantage of the site into a key design feature. Elaborate formations such as undulations, bifurcations, folds, and inflections modify this plaza surface into an architectural landscape that performs a multitude of functions: welcoming, embracing, and directing visitors through different levels of the interior. With this gesture, the building blurs the conventional differentiation between architectural object and urban landscape, building envelope and urban plaza, figure and ground, interior and exterior.
The Center principally consists of two collaborating systems: a concrete structure combined with a space frame system. In order to achieve large-scale column-free spaces that allow the visitor to experience the fluidity of the interior, vertical structural elements are absorbed by the envelope and curtain wall system. The space frame system enabled the construction of a free-form structure. Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) and Glass Fibre Reinforced Polyester (GFRP) were chosen as ideal cladding materials, as they allow for the powerful plasticity of the building’s design Advanced computing allowed for the continuous control and communication of these complexities among the numerous project participants.
